Advocating for yourself in the workplace can be scary. Many people struggle with talking about and defending themselves. They might fear appearing boastful, worry about potential backlash, or feel uncertain about how to approach it. However, advocating for yourself at work is not an option – it's a vital skill that can transform your career.

Rob Kim, a LinkedIn Top Voice, is a career educator and helps people overcome barriers and communicate effectively at work. He chatted with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman on the latest episode of the Get Hired podcast to explain how to advocate for yourself in your job search and career. The two also discuss why it’s important to recognize your accomplishments and speak about them openly so others can advocate for you too. 

This episode is for anyone who wants to make sure they're making their efforts known in the workplace so they can get the raise they deserve and the support system they need.
